Life, an expression

Why do I write? Because I want to share something, why I want to share something, because I have something in my heart, in my mind which just wants to come out, and it wants to reveal itself. Does it really matter how many people read it, yes somewhat, but somewhere deep down actually it does not matter. Expression is mandatory, response is optional. Saying is an expression, writing is an expression, playing is an expression, singing, crying, chiding, loving are expressions. Each and every action of life is an expression. Life consists of expressions, nothing else. When you say someone ‘I love you’ you express yourself. When you say someone ‘you are cheater’ you express yourself. Science, literature, art, war, peace are expressions of life.

When you express something (irrespective of good and evil), your life goes one step ahead. You must say whatsoever you want to say. If you want to say something unexpected to your father, you should say it. If you decide not to say then sooner or later these unsaid thoughts will reveal itself in form of emotional burst. Hiding any kind of thought is unnatural. When any thought comes naturally and we find it in favor of someone, we say and praise that person. However we do not say anything which we think it can hurt someone. We do not say anything bad to anyone since this is what we have been told or we think so. Sometimes we do not say because we find that it might risk our relation, our promotion, our image (the most ridiculous). Expressing any kind of thought is the only way to improve something. Concealing can only make things worse.

Only expression causes a revolt, a change. Change for what, change for betterment. But how much change an expression can bring in your life is depend on you and the way you express it. When Gandhi-ji was pushed out of train in South Africa he could have slapped train ticket examiner, however he chose to express himself in different manner to root out racial discrimination.
Many times when you want to say something bad and you express it, you feel better, why so, because you do not hinder flow of life by revealing yourself. Even when you criticize someone in his/her absence you feel good, believe me if you have enough courage to say in front of him/her you are going to live best moment of your life.


When life does not find itself to reveal the way it wants to reveal, it takes another path which we call negativity. Some expression might risk your relation/job however you must say it, otherwise in lack of expression it causes emotional burst and depression. Not expressing yourself can cause more harm to you than expressing yourself.
